Chapter 1008 Gifts
Luoan, the palace, the inner palace of snowflakes.
The queen was standing outside the Hall of Light, feeling a little aggrieved and angry. She was as quiet as water, gentle and virtuous as she was. It was hard to see what she was thinking in her heart from her expression. It was just that her frown was already a rare thing. If she wasn't a little annoyed in her heart, her beautiful eyebrows would rarely frown.
She felt wronged, with a little anger, but more worried.
She has been with the emperor for more than 20 years. The emperor has always taken good care of her. Everyone has times of anger. When the emperor is unwilling to see anyone, there is always a queen by his side.
But now, it becomes difficult for the queen to see the emperor.
Although the queen never maliciously slandered others, she still couldn't help but regard the Snowflake Empress as a vixen in her heart. The emperor was already very cold to the government. However, no matter what, while practicing Taoism, she would summon important officials to discuss matters in the palace every now and then, and the ministers would still have the opportunity to meet the emperor.
But since the vixen of Snowflake Empress came, the emperor seemed to have forgotten that he was the king of a country. At least in the eyes of many people, the emperor began to ignore the government and rarely even went out of the Palace of Light. He stayed in the Palace of Snowflake with Snowflake throughout the day.
Although the queen was worried that the emperor would ruin the country by ignoring the government like this, she never interfered in the government and never mentioned state affairs in front of the emperor. She came to the Palace of Light today just because she was really worried about the emperor's body. The emperor was already old. Not to mention that he was already old this year, even when he was young and strong, he could not withstand such addiction in singing and dancing day and night.
The queen never thought that the generation of heroes who were ambitious in the world would become more and more ridiculous and more foolish as time goes by.
Could it be that his wisdom and wisdom were consumed early, and while his skin was aging, his wisdom gradually declined and shrank?
The queen knew that the Snowflake Empress was a beauty sacrificed by Feng Yuanpo, the governor of Hexi Road. The queen even knew that if the emperor wanted to break through the barriers to practice, he needed the help of the human cauldron. This Snowflake Empress was the Human Cauldron sent by Feng Yuanpo.
The Snowflake Empress is born with charming bones. Although she is exquisite in shape, she is from a Hu person. She has a very good physique, is charming and coquettish, and is proficient in the art of having fun in bed. It is hard for the queen to imagine that an old emperor can still maintain health when she is with a charming and coquettish fox girl.
A tall Hu eunuch walked slowly over, the queen frowned and asked, "Does the Lord let me in?"
"I'm sorry, Queen, the emperor said, no one will see today." The Hu man Yelisin knew that the noble lady in front of him was the queen. Although he was arrogant, he did not dare to be too presumptuous at this time. Last time, Chu Huan fought in the Palace of Light and gave him a lesson, which made his arrogance much weaker. He knew that even if there was the support of the Snowflake Queen, there were still powerful figures who dared to attack him.
The queen's eyebrows were locked tighter, and Shui Lian, who was beside the queen, couldn't help but say, "Master Yelisin, can you tell the Lord clearly that it is the queen who asks for a meeting?"
Shui Lian was not satisfied with the Hu people.
He was the closest person to the emperor and had a very high status in the palace. Not to mention the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, even the concubines in the harem, they would give this Eunuch Shui some face.
However, since the arrival of the Snowflake Empress, he has to serve in the Hall of Light and is not qualified to enter the inner hall of Snowflake. If he wants to report to the emperor, he still needs two Hu eunuchs to report that his father-in-law, who was once very popular, has become difficult for him to see the emperor. In the eyes of many palace ladies, if he loses favor, the people in the palace will not look respectful when they see Shui Lian again.
Shui Lian knew that if he wanted to pull the emperor out of the Snowflake Queen, only the queen could do it now. Only by pulling the emperor out of the Snowflake Queen would the status of the Hu eunuch in the palace decline, and only then could he return to his former glory.
The palace maids and eunuchs in the queen's harem, Shui Lian, naturally, would send his confidant eunuchs to approach. He seemed to inadvertently reveal the arrogant and domineering eunuchs of the Hu people and the excessive desires of the Snowflake Queen to the people in the queen's harem, and the palace servants of the queen's palace knew that they would flow into the queen's ears.
The queen finally came but the emperor did not see her. Shui Lian became a little anxious. Yelisin had no good expression on Shui Lian. She rolled her eyes and said in a half-baked Central Plains speech: "Of course, the saint has made it clear. The saint said that no one has seen. The saint conveyed it according to the saint's wishes..." He didn't say much, but just bent down to the queen, turned around and wanted to return to the hall.
The queen was stunned for some reason, but she felt a little sad. She was in loneliness and was about to leave, but she saw an official coming here with a few people. The queen glanced at him and recognized the person Lin Yuanfang, the Minister of Personnel. This was the emperor's extremely favored minister, but the queen had no good feelings for this person.
Behind Lin Yuanfang were four followers. The four of them carried a large wooden box with two shoulder poles. The wooden box was made of high-quality wood, and the outside was painted with gold paint, which was dazzlingly golden, and looked very expensive.
Seeing the queen, Lin Yuanfang hurriedly trotted over and knelt on the ground, "My minister Lin Yuanfang will meet the queen, the queen will be safe!"
The queen squeezed out a smile, "Lin Shangshu, please calm down." She couldn't help asking, "What is Lin Shangshu who is sending?"
"Report to the Queen, this is not my offer." Lin Yuanfang immediately said: "This is a loyal servant from Hexi Road, and I am about to offer it to the emperor."
When the queen heard this, she immediately lost interest.
Of course, the queen knew what kind of person Feng Yuanpo was. Lin Yuanfang was flattering and showing off, and anyone could see his flattery, but Feng Yuanpo was different.
Feng Yuanpo was born as a pig killer. At first glance, he looked honest and simple, but the queen knew very well. Compared with Lin Yuanfang, Feng Yuanpo's enthusiasm for welcome was perfect. At least the emperor always liked this loyal servant and praised Feng Yuanpo for his loyalty many times. He was a rare minister who was both loyal and capable.
The queen had no feelings for Feng Yuanpo in the past. She embraced all rivers and wanted to govern the world, and everyone needed to use it. However, after Feng Yuanpo presented the Snowflake Empress, the queen was a little dissatisfied with Feng Yuanpo. Today, she felt even more uncomfortable when she saw Feng Yuanpo delivering something again. She didn't have the heart to ask more, but just glanced at the large wooden box of gold-painted gold wire, and then turned around and left.
Lin Yuanfang stood up when he saw the queen leaving, looked at the queen's back, tidied up his official robe, turned his head, but saw the Yelisin who was about to enter the temple again.
Lin Yuanfang's expression, which had already become cold, was filled with a kind smile again. Yelisin seemed to have a good impression of this Shangshu Lin, and there was a rare smile on the dead face, "Isn't this Shangshu Lin?"
Lin Yuanfang had already bowed and smiled, "Ye Daddy, you have worked hard day and night, it's so hard." Without looking at Shui Lian beside him, he went forward and took a ingot of gold and put it in Yelisin's hand as if no one else was around. "You have worked too hard, you must pay attention to your health. Don't know that the Lord can be convenient now?"
Shui Lian watched coldly, feeling uneasy, thinking in her heart that Lin Yuanfang was indeed living with a mask. When the Snowflake Queen had not entered the palace before, Lin Yuanfang was polite when she saw her. She would have to stuff something to express her every now and then, but now she doesn't even look at her.
When he thought of this, Shui Lian couldn't help but sound Chu Huan. When it comes to being a human being, Shui Lian really felt that Chu Huan was affectionate and righteous. Even if he knew that he had lost power, he would be polite to him and not hypocritical.
Yelisin put away the gold without hesitation, smiled and said, "The Lord has just seen Xuanzhen Dao Sect, and is really resting now, but the family is now going to report to Secretary Lin."
"Have you work, please do!" Lin Yuanfang smiled, "The father-in-law told the emperor that the loyal waiter Feng Yuanpo had a gift to offer, and the subordinates sent it to the palace to invite the emperor to watch!"
"Is it the gift of the loyal servant?" Jelisin said immediately: "The miscellaneous family will report it now."
Jelisin went in and reported that Lin Yuanfang asked his followers to put down the wooden box first, carry their hands on their backs, and wait outside the hall. His eyes swept over the Shui Lian standing outside the hall, and still seemed to have not seen it, and he followed the trend.
After a moment, Jerisin had already come out and said, "State Lin, your entourage cannot enter the temple..." He waved to several warriors in front of the temple, "You guys carry the wooden boxes in." Then he smiled at Lin Yuanfang and said, "State Lin, the emperor is waiting for you inside, please follow the miscellaneous family!"
Jelisin led the way, Lin Yuanfang followed behind him, and four samurai warriors in front of the hall carried wooden boxes and followed them straight into the inner hall of Snowflakes.
Lin Yuanfang was taken to a big bed in the inner hall. The big bed was surrounded by golden curtains, which had already hung down, and could not see the movement inside. Lin Yuanfang signaled the warrior in front of the hall to put the wooden box in the middle of the inner hall. When the warrior retreated, he knelt on the edge of the bed and said respectfully: "My minister Lin Yuanfang, I wish you a long life to the emperor, I wish you a long life to the Snowflake Queen, I wish you a thousand years to the Queen!"
He had heard some movement in the golden curtain, and the chuckling sounds faintly came out, knowing that the emperor and the Snowflake Empress should be among them. Although there were not many people in the Snowflake Inner Palace to come in, Xuanzhen Dao Sect and Lin Yuanfang were exceptions. Xuanzhen Dao Sect had to practice Zen with the emperor every day. Although there were more Snowflake Empress, it would still not affect the emperor's favor for Xuanzhen Dao Sect. Every day, Xuanzhen Dao Sect would come to the Snowflake Inner Palace. As for Lin Yuanfang, although it would not be as frequent as Xuanzhen Dao Sect, as long as he entered the palace to ask for a meeting, the emperor would usually receive it.
The emperor's lazy voice came from inside: "Is it Lin Aiqing? I heard that you are sending gifts here. What kind of gift is it?"
"Report to the emperor, it was not a gift from Weishi, but a gift sent by Jingzhong Hou from Hexi Road." Lin Yuanfang stuck out his butt and his head was next to the ground. "Weishi asked the emperor to look at Longwang!"
